INTEODUCTION. 



This Parish List of Deaths, recorded by Rev. William 
Bentley during his ministry in Salem, has been prepared 
and edited by Mr. Ira J. Patch, of Salem, the well-known 
genealogist. 

Mr. Bentley was an eminent scholar, a zealous antiqua- 
rian, a revered and honored minister, and indefatigably 
industrious in collecting and recording anything relating 
to his studies, his pursuits, his parish and his life. He was 
born in Boston, June 22, 1759 ; a graduate of Harvard in 
the class of 1/77, and from which he received the honor- 
ary degree of D.D., in 1819, ordained over the East 
church and society in Salem, 1783. Died Dec. 29, 1819. 

His great collection of manuscripts have, since his death, 
been deposited by his executor, in the archives of the 
American Antiquarian Society. 

The printing of them, or a selection of them, carefully 
edited, would be a valuable contribution to our historical 
literature.
